No, don't worry, Hooked On Phonics has not failed you. You read that right. Here is the story short and sweet.
Tonight at dinner, Travis sat by Zoe. Zoe had a booger hanging out of her nose. Travis reached over and picked it for her. Travis would have put it ON THE END OF HIS PLATE if not for my wails of alarment at seeing his boogered finger almost touch the same thing that his food was on. I said "DONT PUT THAT ON YOUR PLATE YOU SICKO!!!!!!!!!!" He says, "What? It was just on the edge of my plate no where near my food." At this it was all I could do to keep my jaw from hitting the floor.
What normal human being would not only THINK of putting a slimy baby booger on his plate instead of, I don't know, a napkin, but also be OK with still eating the food that is in close proximity to said booger?
Appauling yes??

I don't know about "appalling." I would've just flicked it on the floor or wrapped it in a napkin. So, actually, as I think more about it, maybe you are right. Hmm. That's funny!
Whenever I think boogers and food I think Jack in the Box, loogy spitting workers. Travis, please stop this crazy behavior before all of Amys readers throw-up in our mouths.
Thank you.
Remind me how you know Jennie Carter?
Sweet Travis. See, he's SO nice that he doesn't want to soil the carpets by flicking it or even waste the napkins by wiping it so he chooses to endure the suffering himself as he puts it in the best place where nobody but him will be put out.
That made my throat itch! Nasty Travis!
I am so sorry that you had to hear this story, but it had to be done.
Vonda, I know Jennie from High school. How do you guys know her?
Travis, I know you are sitting at your desk, red faced at this post. Share your defense with these people before they erase my link from their blogs and never read mine again!
Booger on plate? What? Jarred would have thrown up over, and over, but I probably would have just looked the other way. Thanks for the story though. I'll try to always have a napkin handy whenever we invite you to dinner.
and one day is definately not enough for Dland!
OK, seeing how I seem to be getting taken to the wood shed on this, here is the reasoning behind it. There was not a napkin within arms reach, I had maybe two or three bites of food left and then the plate was going in the sink and I wasn't going to put it on the surface of the plate, just on the outside edge of it. I see no problem what so ever with this act, in fact, I should be patted on the back for my willingness to relieve my poor daughter of her huge booger despite a lack of resources.
Ok, Travis, with all our might, we will and try and see it your way. Um wait, NO WE WON'T!
I was a stake leader at camp a couple of years with her and my hubby is friends with his dad and her dad. - Vonda
